Mr. Bernard Gloster:

The benefit of the new contract is probably harder to quantify at the moment. On weekend discharge, I refer to the winter period and the seasonal influenza period. I made specific provisions for the October bank holiday weekend and we saw record discharges that prevented us from having a disastrous situation the following Tuesday. That is not to say the situation the following Tuesday was acceptable, but it was much better. We have managed to do that now for quite a number of weekends. We are seeing improvement but it is a sustained effort and it will be right over the winter.
